Set your API contextPick a region and space ID once. Every sample fills in your base URL.
Where do I find these?

In Coevera: open your space's API application and choose Show Access. It shows the space ID and the base URL, whose host starts with your region.

From the API: if you know the space ID, the discovery endpoint GET /api/discovery/spaces/{space_id} returns its region and base URLs, without credentials.

Only the region and space ID are kept, in this browser. Never paste a key or password here.

CloudObjects: list, get, create, update and delete, plus batch operations.

The summaries on this page are generated from the specification; written descriptions come with the next releases of the reference.

GET List CloudObjects

Returns the CloudObjects the API application can read, one page at a time. In the list envelope, total counts every match and page_info pages through them.

Query parameters

NameTypeDescription
include-deletedbooleanInclude soft-deleted records. Lists only; get-by-id refuses it.
firstintegerPage size. Default 30, maximum 100; a larger value is refused with HTTP 400, code 117.
lastintegerReturn the last N records of the result; together with first, the last N of the first M. Maximum 100.
beforestringCursor from page_info.start_cursor, to page backwards. URL-encode it.
afterstringCursor from page_info.end_cursor of the previous page. URL-encode it: cursors are base64, and a raw + becomes a space.
expandstringRelated records to return inline instead of their URIs, comma-separated; dots reach nested relations, as in account_relations.account.
order-bystringFields to sort by, comma-separated. A leading - sorts descending, as in -modified; dotted paths sort by related fields.
filterobjectfilter[field]=value. Separate several values with a raw comma (OR), as in filter[name]=north,south. Encode a comma that belongs to a value as %2C. URLSearchParams and Python requests encode every comma, so build the filter part of the query string yourself. Dotted paths filter on related records, as in filter[owner.email]. Encode a + in a value as %2B: query values are form-decoded, so a raw + becomes a space.
filter-opobjectfilter-op[field]=operator, one per field: eq (the default), ieq, not-eq, not-ieq, contains, icontains, starts, istarts, ends, iends, gt, gte, lt, lte, between, null, not-null, empty and not-empty. null, not-null, empty and not-empty take no filter value; gt, gte, lt and lte take exactly one.
load-onlystringFields to return, comma-separated (raw or encoded commas both work here); dots select nested fields, as in owner.id. All fields are returned without it. Lists only: get-by-id refuses it with HTTP 400, code 118.

POST Create CloudObject

Creates one record and answers 201 with it.

Query parameters

NameTypeDescription
validation-levelintegerBit mask that relaxes validation on this write. 0 (the default) validates everything. Bits: 2 skip unchanged fields, 4 skip admin-defined validations, 8 allow read-only fields, 16 skip relation checks, 32 skip value checks, 64 skip invalid recalculations, 128 skip step-checklist gates, 256 add conditional field requirements, 512 skip uniqueness checks.

Errors

Every error body has success: false, http_status, code, name and message. Branch on code: the status alone does not tell a missing permission from a bad parameter. All codes: error codes; how to handle them: Errors.

HTTPWhen
400Bad request: a bad or unknown parameter (codes 117, 118), a missing permission (code 50), conflicting data (code 2002) or any other API error. The REST API answers 400 where others answer 403 or 409; check code.
401Not authenticated: missing or wrong credentials, a credential of another space, or an expired token (code 401, ERROR_UNAUTHORIZED).
404No such record or entity (code 143 ERROR_NO_ENTITY, or 2006 ERROR_UNKNOWN_TYPE).
422Validation failed (code 40000, with the failing fields) or a required parameter is missing (code 119). By default one failed item fails a whole batch and nothing is written.
429Too many requests (code 182). Wait for the seconds in Retry-After, then retry.
500Unexpected server error (code 1000, ERROR_UNKNOWN).
